Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

In Denmark, there are supermarkets where all products are expired but still edible. For those who need to save money, and to combat food waste. — The name of these stores: “WeFood”.

Humanity is that simple.

The idea that this administration is considering selling public lands, which belong to all of us, is absolutely abhorrent!

THIS THIS THIS
A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

The victory of the modern US economy was that we *didn’t* have to make stuff that could be made cheaper elsewhere. So the stuff would be affordable as long as we weren’t total assholes to the countries that made it.

Turning the US into China is stupid, as is thinking it could be done in one term.

The premise that the economy needed to be “fixed” is a fever dream we’re being forced to live in, at the cost of our savings and our national status.

Most “Biden inflation” was residual pandemic costs and corporate price gouging. We were a billionaire tax away from fine.

Eight months ago, the US economy was the envy of the world.

“The patient is recovering” was literally 2022-23 as our economy got back to some kind of normal after a global pandemic—and based on the rest of the world, we did it really well.

But, to idiots, egg prices were a national emergency.
